Essence told Buzzfeed: "Growing up in the South [of America], people would always say things to me like 'You need to get some meat on them bones' and 'All you need is a little cornbread to thicken you up.' I was told that figure-hugging dresses didn't 'look right' on me because I wasn't curvy enough fill them out. Now, as a grown woman, I've fallen in love with my body, and I wear what the hell I want simply because I feel like it!"

Krutika told Buzzfeed: "Fashion advice always circles back around to 'covering up your problem areas.'Vogue isn't exactly jumping to tell me that my lumpy soft belly and its accompanying dadbod would look great in bikinis and crop tops … In fact, the first time I tried to buy a crop, I was told that it didn't do me any favours because of the way my stomach hung out by the (former) friend who was with me.

"The reality is, crop tops and high-waisted [trousers]/skirts look great on me … but to be honest, the real reason I love wearing them is because I like how surprised people seem when they compliment me."

Kaye told Buzzfeed: "To be honest, I am nervous about this picture because my upper arms are the part of my body I am most self-conscious about, and always have been. I've always been a fat kid, and for years I refused to wear any sleeveless tops at all, or even ones whose sleeves are shorter than normal.

"I started weight-lifting, and got to the point where I could squat 300 pounds — and then I hurt my spine. I haven't been able to work out for a while and I'm back to being super self-conscious, but you know what? Screw it. My arms are just fine, and so are yours. Summer is too long to suffer in long sleeves, and life is too short to be anything but kind to yourself."
